OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Moms with Seaman Recruits Soon to be Sailors going to GREAT LAKES A-SCHOOL after PIR
Hi Families just wanted to start a group here for the A School Great Lakes Group?
Maybe we could state our SR's job goal.
My Son is Damage control and A school will be in Great Lakes. I do not know the length of school yet, SR said he would be graduating in Feb-Mar. Excited for it all. God Bless all, cant wait to get that call that he earned his BALL CAP and perhaps sheds his first tear, and he can say proudly "I am a Sailor"

My son's school?? The recruiter, awhile back, mentioned 9 weeks. At one point my son figured he would be home for a week or so in March. I guess the answer to the $64,000. question will come at the end of BC??
